Metabase
Slide
Put Metabase dashboards on the big screen so the numbers your team already trusts stay visible all day.
What you can do
- Display dashboards – Show any Metabase dashboard on your devices
- Dark mode built in – Metabase ships a night theme that suits a wall-mounted TV
- Auto refresh – Set how often the dashboard reloads, straight from the URL
- Multiple dashboards – Put different dashboards on different slides
Set it up
Metabase dashboards are displayed using Displayful's built-in Website slide — there's nothing to connect.
Enable public sharing
- In Metabase, go to Settings → Admin settings → Public sharing.
- Turn Enable public sharing on. This is an admin-only setting.
Create a public link
- Open the dashboard you want to display.
- Click the sharing icon and choose Create a public link.
- Copy the URL.
A public link is viewable by anyone who has it, with no sign-in. Only use it for dashboards you're comfortable having outside Metabase, and revoke the link if a device is ever decommissioned.
Tune it for a TV
Metabase reads appearance settings from the URL fragment. Append them to the public link before pasting it in:
https://metabase.example.com/public/dashboard/<uuid>#theme=night&refresh=60&titled=false&bordered=false
theme=night– dark mode, easier on a wall-mounted screenrefresh=60– reload the results every 60 secondstitled=falseandbordered=false– drop the chrome so the charts fill the screenlocale=da– render the dashboard in Danish
Add it as a slide
- In your slideshow, click Add slide → Website.
- Paste the public link, including the
#parameters. - Save. The dashboard will render live on your devices.
Running Metabase yourself? The device loads the dashboard directly, so it needs to reach your Metabase host. A self-hosted instance behind a VPN or on an internal network won't render unless the device is on that same network.
